This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 7 If you want to be rich, you must first smack the tree

No rules no standards.

  Especially for players who are keen to do things, they can't be soft-hearted.

   [Refuge Residents' Handbook Version 1.0. 】

  【1. The administrator's orders are above all else, and all residents of the shelter must obey unconditionally. 】

  【2. For residents who violate the regulations, the administrator will reserve the last resort of "forced dormancy" and "confinement". (Note: Forcing hibernation is equivalent to forcing kicking out of the game, and confinement means blocking login privileges.)]

  【3. The manager has the final interpretation right of all the above terms. 】

   Violations will be kicked out of the game, which is no longer a power that ordinary NPCs have.

   After seeing the remarks at the end of Article 2 of the Refuge Residents Handbook, the players fully understood that the NPC in front of them is not only an NPC, but also has some authority of the GM, which can “ban” people who affect the game experience of other players.

   There are few people now, and the rules are only these three for the time being. If there is anything that needs to be added later, Chu Guang will consider launching version 2.0, or even version 20.0.

   For example, it regulates the contact rules between players and players, players and "NPCs", and prohibitions in the game, etc.

  Have a round of closed beta test before the A test, half of the reason is also for this.

  The space in the shelter is not big. The twenty or so rooms look like a lot, but in fact, each of them is very small, and it is full of four training cabins.

   The previous manager seemed to be deeply afraid that he would not work and sit here, so he moved the entire B1 floor cleanly, but he didn't give him any good things left.

  Chu Guang didn't stay in the shelter for too long. After explaining the rules, he took the four of them and Xiao Qi and stood on the elevator leading to the outside world.

   These four beta testers are quite obedient, and they give him face as an administrator, but their curiosity is a little too strong.

  From the moment they put their feet on the ground, they were like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden.

   In the whole body, not a single cell can stay idle!

  The elevator stopped.

   Looking at the sun shining in front of the elevator across the broken window, the four players all exclaimed in unseen amazement.

   "Fuck..."

   "This light! This wall! This, this, this..."

   "This is too awesome!"

   "The sun shines through the gaps in the concrete ruins, and shines on the grass that has drilled out of the floor. The dust visible to the naked eye floats in the beam... Every frame is art, and every second is the burning of funds!"

   "Brilliant! It's still our Japanese brother who has culture!"

   "Go away, call me Brother Ye Fang!"

   "Okay coming to Japan."

  “…”

   A group of guys who have never seen the world...

  Chu Guang thought it was a little funny, but he could understand it, so he pretended not to hear anything, fulfilled his duty as an NPC, and took them outside the sanatorium.

   Looking at the tools on the ground, Chu Guang turned to face them.

   "As you can see, the nuclear war has ended for two hundred years."

   "The place where we are now is located in the northern outskirts of Qingquan City, far from the nuclear bomb crater. Unless it is a 'luminous rain' or a visible radiation cloud, don't worry too much about the excess gamma value."

“The sanctuary cannot shelter us forever, nor can our civilization ever hide under the ruins. Remember, we are the vanguard of the return to the surface, and there are thousands of people behind us waiting for us. Good news, there is no time to delay."

   "The first thing we have to do now is to repair this sanatorium under our feet and build an outpost on this ruin."

   "It will be our bridgehead back to the surface."

   "I'll give you a task, pick up the axe on the ground, go outside and chop some wood back."

   "We need to stock up on fuel before winter comes, and also fix these broken walls around us."

   "Remember not to go too far, don't act rashly when encountering alien species, and withdraw immediately."

   "Action!"

  Chu Guang originally thought that he needed to spend some words.

  Unexpectedly, these players are more obedient than they thought, and they simply picked up the axe and went out to work.

   That swift action seemed like he wished he could finish quickly, for fear of delaying his work.

   "Master, are these guys really okay?" Xiao Qi, who was following him, expressed his concerns. He always felt that these cloned heads were abnormal.

"That's why I asked you to follow me," Chu Guang looked up at the nursing home behind him, paused for a moment, and continued, "Go to the north window on the third floor and watch, if they encounter a situation or go too far, You remind me."

   As for himself, he has to check the reward for completing the task first.

   The wastepaper basket parked beside Chu Guang did not move.

   After a while, Xiao Qi whispered.

"……Owner."

"What's wrong?"

   "That, I don't have jio."

   The moving wastepaper basket circled around Chu Guang's calf, showing how he moved. It was only then that Chu Guang noticed that this guy had always been sliding on four pairs of pulleys.

   "...Okay, I'll carry you up."

Sighed.

  Chu Guang crouched down and carried it on his shoulders.

   Good guy.

   is quite heavy.

  …

  Kakaka——

  Duang!

   The thigh-thick tree fell slowly, hitting the ground with a dull sound.

   "I don't think this is a wasteland."

   "What's that like?"

   "It's more like a forest... I'm talking about "The Forest", I don't know if you've played it, it's like cutting down trees like this and building a house."

"Of course I have played with the Black Artifact, and not only have I played it, but I have also built a house in the sky. But building a house there is much easier, just click with the mouse, unlike here... special, the axe is quite heavy. "

"When it comes to the setting, I think it's quite real. I remember watching a documentary before, about returning to Chernobyl, where there has been no human interference for 40 years, and it has evolved into a new ecology. System, the building is surrounded by vines, and the tree grows taller than the house... The setting of this game is two hundred years from the wasteland, it is not impossible. I even feel that the situation in the city will be more exaggerated than here. "

   Looking at the mess behind him, Lao Bai wiped his sweat and smashed his tongue.

   "If this is put into reality, I'm afraid I'll have to go to jail."

   Been busy for two hours.

  Although the efficiency is not high, the wooden stumps left behind are the same as those eaten by dogs, but they also cut down a dozen pine trees as thick as thighs, and there are countless smaller ones.

   However, the manager did not say how much, and no one could decide whether it would be enough.

   "One thing to say, this game is too real... Whether it's the dullness of an axe chopping down a tree, or the flying sawdust and the sunlight passing through the leaves, it reminds me of-"

   "Alright, alright, don't talk shit."

   interrupted Fang Chang's sigh, Ye Shi held the axe in his arms, looked at the branches and autumn leaves scattered on the ground, and panted.

   "Since you can chop down trees, building houses and farming shouldn't be a problem, right?"

   The body movement ability in the game is much stronger than the real body.

   The real Ye Shi belongs to the kind who was hollowed out by nine years of compulsory education, but in the wasteland, he can barely squeeze out two biceps.

   Of course, the coolest thing is that the white horse has gone through the gap - that is, the old white.

   Although this guy's character is not very good-looking and has a full beard, but when he rolls up his sleeves, he is full of muscles, and he looks powerful.

   "If we want to farm, I suggest that we set a fire and turn the ashes of the plants into the soil. When the winter is over, the next spring will be a fertile soil... Of course, the premise is that the game is so real, otherwise it will be a waste of expressions."

   "Speaking of which, I've always wondered, why do you think Lao Bai's muscles are so strong that he looks like he's been trained. I'm struggling to get an axe."

   The wind was panting.

  His character is probably the one with the physical fitness closest to reality among all people, and it will be dead after a while of exercising.

   "The attributes of each character must be different...Although I don't know how this thing is judged." The abbot touched the back of his head and thought for a moment, "But I have a guess."

   "What conjecture?"

   All three players were very interested in his findings.

   Anyone who has been in the Bull and Horse Club for a while knows that this guy is a member of the strategy team for several single-player games, and he is also the most stocked of steam games in the group.

  Whether it is FPS, RPG or SLG, there is no type that he does not play.

"You should have noticed that we woke up from a silver-white jar. Considering the theme of this game, there are two possibilities in the setting. One, we slept from pre-war through freezing hibernation technology. Now. Two, we're all clones."

   "Of course, I personally think the latter setting will be more convenient. After all, the problem of resurrection is easy to explain. The DNA stored in the culture cabin is directly used to resynthesize a body."

   Looking at the players who looked at each other, Fang Chang continued.

   "I estimate that settings such as attribute panels and levels will be added later, and the difference in our physical fitness is likely to be the foreshadowing of it!"

"I'm still looking forward to the production team to develop a set of unique game mechanics, such as... combining DNA and career systems, distinguishing between power players and agile players, and formulating different attribute growth curves. This ensures that both The degree of freedom can also enrich the gameplay.”

   "Unfortunately, the characters are random. It would be nice if you could decide the initial attributes yourself."

   said with dry mouth, Fang Chang finally stopped.

   "No nonsense, I'll be offline for a while, I'll chat with Brother Guang."

   Remember what Brother Guang said, he is the planner of this game. It is definitely better to talk to the planner directly about this issue than to discuss it blindly here.

   At this time, looking at Ye Shi who was in a daze in the distance, he suddenly said.

   "You said, how big is this map?"

"do not know."

   "You said if I kept going in one direction..."

   Looking at Ye Shi, who was eager to try, the gust of wind resting on the side with his axe, he hesitated and said.

   "There is a high probability that it is an air wall, or it may be a plot kill... But no matter what it is, I suggest you don't do it."

   "Did you forget? The manager told us not to get too far from the nursing home."

   "Fuck me, he's just an NPC, do you listen to him?"

   "But he can take us offline and even confiscate our beta test qualifications," Gu Feng reminded.

   Fang Chang also reminded him next to him.

"Yes, and I speculate that with the intelligence of the NPC in this game, there may be a hidden setting such as favorability. You can actually notice that its attitude towards each player is not exactly the same, there must be some Hidden algorithmic logic."

   "It's worth it, don't try it, don't try it."

   Hearing this sentence, Ye Shi, the most dishonest, also became honest.

no way.

   These words are too lethal.

   Anyone with discerning eyes can see the value behind this game.

  Fully immersive virtual reality…

   Once this technology comes out, it will have a subversive impact on the way of entertainment in the entire modern society - even the way of life!

  Even if you don’t want to play games, who cares 12 to 8 hours a day more than others?

  According to the light brother in the group, the time spent in the game world is equivalent to sleeping in the real world.

   In other words, even if you stay here all night, it will not affect your work the next day!

   It is really hard to imagine that such a game that is destined to be a sensation all over the world, the packaging and testing is actually carried out in such a "sloppy" or even silent way.

   Doesn't that company need to make money?

   But no matter what, since this opportunity has come to them, no one is willing to give up easily.

   Just when Ye Shi gave up the urge to explore the boundaries of the map and was about to continue to cut down trees honestly, a strong premonition of crisis suddenly enveloped his whole body.

   Cold hands and feet.

   Cold sweat seeps from behind.

   He didn't know where that sense of crisis came from, but he seemed to have foreseen the end of his tragic death——

   His legs softened, and Ye Shi stumbled backwards, but it was this stagger that allowed him to escape the dark shadow that fell from the sky.

  Tear——!

  Sawdust splash.

   The tree trunk beside him has three scratch marks half a foot wide!

   "Yah—!"

   Howling like a ghost!

  The big bird that swooped down missed a single hit, and with the reverse thrust of kicking the pine tree, it flapped its wings and lifted it up again, and disappeared into the treetops.

   Looking at the falling black feathers, Ye Shi, who was slumped on the ground, was dumbfounded and touched his head subconsciously.

  What the hell?
